On the topic of memorials, if you ever get the chance, visit the Australian war Memorial in Canberra. This place is fantastic. They have the wall of honour which has the name of every Australian killed in every war, The beautiful tomb of the unknown soldier, an aircraft hall which contains a Lanc (G-George), Me262, Zero, Spitfire, P40 and a Mossie(I think). This place has so many artifacts it would take you a good two days to check everything out proper. One of my favourite exhibits is the Japanese midget sub that attacked Sydney harbour. Truely an awesome place!
